doubly blogged

You've seen this dress before. But I figured it was worthy of a double posting to see it on her. I nearly forgot about it, but thankfully noticed it in the back of Adelaide's closet last week, amongst a slew of dresses that were too big at the moment of sewing (I do that. make things too big). This one fits now, though just as I predicted I would, I put it away in the closet without completing the handsewing. Lucky for me, I have a new machine since then, and so, voila, a 'fancy stitch' (as Ezra calls them) was added, saving me from the dreaded handsewing (I want to love handsewing, I really do!). She wore this dress to our Post-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving (got that?) with Steve's family. As is the case with many a toddler's stimulation levels, I'm sure, we spent most of the time chilling out away from the crowd. Add a cool old telephone, wallpaper that matches the dress, and hey - mama's got herself an instant photo shoot.

My favorite. Check out that hand. I wish you could hear the scrumptious "Ah! Ah?" telephone chatter that she had going on too.
